My stay in the Royal Village comes to an end. I have to go back. At the end, we decided one last time to take a walk in the Park.
Tsarskoye Selo is State Museum-reserve. This vast territory. Catherine Park is part of it.
It is the residence of the Russian Tsars. So here are all filled with greatness. Each building in the territory of the Park ensemble had its own purpose. Used for specific purposes.
The large size of the lake gave it the appropriate name. It's called the "Big lake". In the distance, on the other side, we see the colonnade. This is the Cameron gallery.
The gallery had a mission for walks and philosophical conversations. In more detail, I already told you in my post:

Continue to walk. All the alleys of the Park is very well maintained. A lot of visitors, but because of the scale of the territory it is not noticeable.
Striking in its splendor the building of the Hermitage Museum ( I ask not to confuse this with the Art gallery "Hermitage" in Saint-Petersburg). This is the Hermitage pavilion. Here ,in those days, there were various informal meetings. They discussed political issues.
My detailed post was about this:

Freylinsky garden. It is a favorite place for walks of the then court ladies ,Her Majesty the Empress.
Now is still spring and the landscaping is still in progress only. And in the summer everything here is decorated with flowers.
Interesting architecture are the hanging gardens and the ramp. They are a continuation of the Cameron gallery. Using this ramp, you can go down from the top of the colonnade.
In the Park a huge number of statues. I want all the details to consider, but that's why we need to spend more time. I hope to be able to come here again and again.
This sculpture is my favorite. So I wrote a separate post about it. This sculpture - fountain.

We can see the Chesma column. It was erected in honor of victories in the Russo-Turkish war. The Architect A. Rinaldi.
The Park has plenty of places like wilderness areas. This is a very beautiful and safe.
And here before our eyes there is a bridge.
It is called the Marble bridge. I did my report about it:

With this magnificent Marble bridge we have here such a beautiful view...
It's a Turkish bath-Hamam. I already told you about it here https://steemit.com/travel/@madlenfox/lonely-rare-drops-flowing-from-the-fountain-of-tears-travel-to-tsarskoye-selo-the-path-of-history
In this posted video, I recommended to view a small video.(inside)
Next, we turned onto a small alley, where I saw just such a pyramid.
It turned out that this pavilion, where she is buried beloved dog of Catherine the great. Their names were Tom Anderson, Zemir and Duchess. This is truly such Royal whims.
On the walk we were interested in this little Marina. It turned out that in the Park in the summer, you can ride on a Venetian gondola. And Yet, to get around the Park ,there are horse-drawn carriages, electric cars and ferries.
We had lots of fun. It is a wonderful journey. I will definitely return here in the summer. We can see many sculptures and visit other pavilions.
